Nice one this morning. RACV wrote to say that they have re-worked their Total Care Package to include the Tow Pack add on for large caravans or MHs. Covers up to 8.00 tonnes gross.3.3metre height. 2.5 m width. 9.00metres length. Balance of current tow pack to be credited to next renewal or product purchase.
I have just sent the following inquiry to RAC in WA, (as a submit enquiry on their website), as up to a few months ago they still were not insuring motorhomes
My question is, do RACWA insure Motorhomes I have read on an internet forum that RACV, covers up to 8.00 tonnes gross.3.3metre height. 2.5 m width. 9.00metres length
I shall advise of the outcome, as I use to be with RACWA for about 47 years
Tony, that's because they can't decide if its a vehicle with a big enclosed canopy on the back, or a caravan with a motor. They wouldn't insure my ute., its a manual they said, no o o o its an auto matic, but they don't make one, well they do now, can I speak to your supervisor please DUH!

Hello Ian
Perhaps someone high up in the RACWA, is looking for a higher position in another insurance company, and has trained the lower level staff accordingly
Usual disclaimer, the above is just my theory, so I could be wrong
I cannot speak highly enough of this package and the people at the RACV who administer it.
I have paid for it for around 15 years (probably more?) but only needed to use it once about five years ago when my previous 4WD finally died (totally) in a country town in Gippsland on a Sunday afternoon - not a time of much activity in such places. Fortunately I had mobile coverage and my "Personal Carer" at the RACV did a brilliant job of sorting things out and having me and 4WD towed 300km home - at no cost - that same day.
Don't leave home without it.

It certainly looks like the RAC in Western Australia, want the motorhomes to be insured by someone else
Below is their answer to my enquiry
